This
classic '57 Chevy restoration was a real joy.
The car is cool! Who doesn't love a '57. And the
customer was cooler than his car, really. This
guy is a retired rock and roll drummer. This job
was fun for all of us. Check out his comments
on the testimonial
page.
This car was just the typical, normal, boring,
every day, no surprises version of our thing.
In and out, done on time, on budget, perfect work,
happy customer. I love my job.
We
disassembled the car, media blasted it to bare
steel, did great body work, blocked it smooth,
shot it, buffed it to perfection, put it back
together, and delivered it back to our customer
in New Orleans. And yes, this car got submerged
during Katrina. You sure can't tell now, though!
We
also put a killer stereo in the car, and restored
the back of the car back to original, removing
the Continental kit from the car. And there was
a typical, small list of mechanical details to
sort out for the guy as well. We adjusted the
brakes, fixed the generator indicator light on
the dash, repacked the front wheel bearings, rebuilt
the carburetor, corrected some exhaust rattles,
installed new carpet, new headliner, some interior
trim, tune-up, repaired some electrical problems,
and some front suspension items.
